Man ordered to return Dhs60,000 to a woman in loan case
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court ordered a man to pay Dhs60,000 to a woman after he failed to return the loan she had given to him. The woman filed a lawsuit against the man, claiming she had lent him Dhs70,000, which he did not fully repay despite her amicable requests. She demanded that he be compelled to pay the remaining amount, along with a 5% late interest from the date of the legal claim until full settlement. She also requested that he cover the legal fees and expenses. The woman noted that the man had contacted her before the lawsuit, informing her that he had transferred Dhs10,000 to her. The judge administered a supplementary oath to the plaintiff and then the court stated that the plaintiff provided WhatsApp messages with the appellee, which he did not deny. Consequently, the court ordered him to repay Dhs60,000 to the plaintiff.
